Re: Human Player

Human players would be useful if they could get the ball anywhere close to the robot. That way, the robot can load it itself, and you don't need an inordinately good player. I don't think there is any way anyone will score points. Maybe 1 in 100 tries, but seriously, most people couldn't throw into something that small from 10 feet away, much less 54, and definitely not over a 6 foot wall. The game is giving us restrictions, and we have to find a way to get around them, or lose part of our potential
